Research and source notes - Deborah Sweet:
Info fromObits, Madaline's notes, personal recollections:
Went to Westminister College,Pennsylvania
Farmed in Delaware Co., NY, near Milford/Milford Center - farm at
Goodyear Lake
He was a Sheriff of Otsego Co. for 3 years in the early 1930's.
According to Grandma Sweet (his daughter), he was so grossly overweight
that in order for him to be weighed by the doctor, he had to use the
scales at the feed store. [I am not sure if my recollection on this is
correct. It may have been her Grandfather William Southworth, Madaline's
father, who was soobese. Which may be the reason he died so young. I
remember her saying thathe (whichever one it was,) dropped dead
suddenly. D.Sweet]
Had something todo with the beginnings of IBM. Have not found any
mention of this anywhere though.

Madaline's line gives us our MAYFLOWER lineage through the following
Mayflower Passengers, a total of six so far:
1) John ALDEN
2) MULLINS - Priscilla, and her parents William and Alice
The ALDEN - MULLINS line comes tous through the SOUTHWORTHS.
3) FULLER - Edward and his son Samuel who came onthe ship, and other son
Matthew, who came later. This line comes to us through the ROWLEY's (see
Ithamar Rowley, who is also one of 'our' Revolutionary War Veterans) and
it is a double line, secondly through Dimmis Gates's father Stephen
Gates, also a Rev. War Vet, who married Esther Fuller, a dau. of John
Fuller. I have just found the connection through these lines and have

2) Full name at birth may have been James William Southworth, but there
is no record of his death at Albany under that name. I have put in a

**note: gives place of birth as Maryland, NY, but on her marriage
certificate itsays Oswego, NY - it could be that is her father's place
of birth, as the info given for her father's name says: Wm. A. Southworth
- but the Southworth iscrossed out and Hanor is written in. Other info
shows her father to have been Augustus Hanor. Also shows mother's name as
ANNA Snyder, not Hannah, as itshows on her death cert.

Research and source notes: Deborah Sweet -
1) 4/11/2001 - NYS Dept of Health,Albany does not have marriage record
for Ida Hanor and James W. Southworth, date range 1/1/1881 -
12/31/1881[Albany has no earlier records, I need to write next, the Town
and County Clerks]
I may resend under just William Southworth, as they didn't find any
James William record and resent for that under William. Though his dod is
1883, so may be no record anyway, under either name.If one turns up
under William, then I'll resend for marriage under William,although I
wonder if they didn't cross check before under Ida's name.

1) The info on Martin, Louisa and theirchildren is taken from Madaline
Wright's hand copied Bible Records from Martin Southworth's Family Bible.
At the time (abt 1937) she was doing her research, it was located at Earl
Southworth's at Fly Creek, County of Otsego, NY.

Martin Southworth, Age 71 yrs 17 days;Occupation: Cooper, Leaves a wife;
Birthplace: Otsego County, NY; Father: Oziois[sic] from Vermont [there
have been what looks like erasures/changes to the document here, and also
under 'state or country', although the original would really need to be
checked]; Mother: Demi?, Vermont [ibid]
Place of Death: Town of Milford at Portlandville [there are two small
categories which areillegible, one may be asking length of residence,
looks like it says '10 yrsor more' ]
Date and Hour of Death: 16 April 1887, at about 1 am.; Joels? Jack?
Thosna?, M.D. of Portlandville, NY, signed 4/17/1887, certifies he
attended deceased from December 1885 to April 1887, last seen 4/15/1887,
died on 4/17/1887 about 1:00 am.; Chief and determining Cause of Death:
Disease of the heart, 10 year duration, and Lungs, 6 year or more
duration, of long standing.; No burial information is given on the
document - permit, date, place, undertaker unknown. [My guess is that he
was buried by the third day, so I enteredthat as date of burial. Also
that he was probably buried in Portlandville, as his wife Louisa was
shown to have been buried there, although Cemetery nameis unknown. Her
undertaker was A. Cronk of Milford. Since she died only three years
later, it may be that it is the same one who took care of Martin.]

Luce, Jr.; luceruss@mkl.com
According to Otsego Co. Genweb; taken from "EarlyHistory of the Town
of Milford and Other Parts of
Otsego Co. From 1773-1903" by Ezra Stevens; Sect.1, Chap. 1, pp. 2-52
'Portlandville had become quite prosperous, a good business and
supported three churches but no
cemetery, consequently a company was organized and the present
(written ca. 1903) Pine Grove Cemetery was established in 1861.'
